No Me Llames Trigueña; Soy Negra (2018 - Ongoing), is the quest for a Black identity and belonging in a socio-cultural context where Blacks are systematically invisibilized. It is also, an ode to “Blackness” and self-identity. Looking deeper into my experience growing up, by doing mixed-media photography and intervening with archives, I analyze racial passing in Puerto Rico in an attempt to dismantle colorism and the notion of “otherness” surrounding the Afro-Puerto Rican identity.
